Council gives the green light for 'landmark' low-carbon energy centre

HAILED AS 'FANTASTIC ADDITION TO THE CITY'

- By ANDREW SPENCE

PLANS for the construction of a low-carbon energy centre in Hull city centre have been approved.

The proposals, which were first submitted to Hull City Council late last year, involve the creation of an energy centre on the site of a car park next to Napoleons Casino & Restaurant off the A165.

The energy centre, which plans state will become “a new landmark that contributes to the city’s identity,” will be able provide the city with hot water heated from low-carbon methods.
